Location

Liffey Domain, Lincoln, Canterbury, New Zealand

Participants

The Quaternary (talk) family geohashers

Plans

Today's geohash for our graticule is in the nearby town of Lincoln, and it looks to be in the middle of a small park or reserve. Too good an opportunity to miss.

Expedition

Having just taken possession of a Nissan Leaf, this was going to be her first Geohash outing. Powered overnight by the country's hydo-electric generators, this was going to less environmentally reckless than some of my other hashes! The round trip was 50 kilometre, so easily within range - there was 133km range on the power meter.

This was reasonbly straightforward hash, although with the trees around, a bit of vectoring off landmarks was required in order to have confidence that we were in the right spot.

And bonus - there was a pretty awesome slide about 20 metres away!
